Fall 2011 Classes & Workshops
Performances can be exhilarating, but we also love to focus on an actor's process. Each fall and spring, the young company offers a variety of programs to support and challenge developing actors. For performers in grades 1-12, we hold weekly acting and dance classes, private voice lessons and special workshops connected to young company and Mainstage productions. We vary the structure and focus of our programs to better address the developmental stage and needs of each age group.
Note: There will be no classes on October 8, 10 or 31 due to fall holidays.

instructed by RYE Members
In our classes for older performers, every individual starts by taking an Introduction to Acting class at his or her grade level. Based in Stanislavsky's system, the introductory classes give all our actors fundamental skills as well as a shared vocabulary. After Introduction to Acting, students can take the "Next Level" classes in whatever order makes sense for their schedule and skills.
act one
grades 4-6
act 1 for actors in grades 4-6
Living truthfully in imaginary circumstances is one definition of acting that elementary aged actors usually don't have trouble with! We work to help them confidently channel their energy and imagination into performance!

Ways of thinking about acting did not begin and end with Stanislavsky. With act 3, we strive to open windows into both professional theatre artist training techniques -like those of Meisner, Suzuki, LeCoq, Laban and Linklater-and disciplines like directing and playwriting.
